i went to the hardware store to buy some wall anchors so i could move the toilet paper holder so the cart full of makeup and hair products that appeared in my bathroom would fit better...then i did the laundry, the deal is i wash it and she folds it and puts it away. i thought i was getting the better of that deal till i started pulling panties and bras and...stuff:oops: out of the basket...there were a bunch of young guys there doing laundry, and it looked like half of them were envious, and the other half were wondering if the stuff was mine....

I’m not even kidding though. If i went on a hike like you just did, i’d just kick it for a couple weeks. I get tired just thinking about doing something like that no joke.

If we’re being honest, that was my first time doing something like that. And I actually finished a day early so I could come home and take my girlfriend backpacking on an overnighted.

Believe me, I’m about as sedentary as they come. Lazy to the max…I have no idea what is happening to me…haha

I wouldn't tape a whole house either...Those guys that do it every day are like lightning and it will look perfect!!

I have a friend who is a plasterer...old school Italian fancy designed rough coat plaster ceilings and walls....Beautiful shit. Every house I have renovated...he has done the ceilings. Last job he did, it was $40 per sheet to hang it and finish it. Ththat's was how he figured price. And he did the job in 2 half days...2 big ceilings and a hallway.

$1/sqft to finish, so $32 to tape and texture.
an 8’ sheet.
$10 bucks for that sheet of rock.
It really only takes a couple minutes to hang and screw off a natural sheet.
so that’s pretty close to what you’re friend charges.

Pulled weeds before it warmed up this morning, found out there is another hole in the sprinkler hose so I need to fix that. I have no idea how that happened. Washed and put away a load of clothes and washed the sheets for the bed and remade it. Ordered an actuator for the car's AC system, not working so good on the passenger side. Frozen shrimp and fish for dinner because I'm lazy.

Look for tiny chisel-like marks; rodents bite through a lot of my drip lines.

Thats sounds good...I haven't done shrimp in a while. And I've never tried frying them at home, but it's gotta be easy and I have a good breading recipe:blsmoke::eyesmoke:

I'm bumming because my favorite meal this time of year, a good ole rib eye steak on the grill, has skyrocketed. Pretty much has doubled in price, from $9 a pound to $18.

Sitting here with the wax pen thinking food...lol. Maybe a bike ride while I can though, the rains a comin'. Actually I heard flood warnings so they must be expecting a good one. Of course, the air show and fair are in progress.

I just got back from the butcher. Steak tips 14.99 lb and sirloin 8.99.

I have the flood warnings till tomorrow night also. We're fine at the house but some other spots might get messed up. Hope not.

I broke a spoke the other day. I tried to replace it myself but the freewheel (I know, lol) is stuck on the hub, so I can’t get a spoke in there.

logic would tell most humans to just take the tire to a shop and have it replaced. Sure, sounds like a good idea. So I took the affected wheel off the bike… then I removed the wheel with the motor… and the battery…

I figured I could swap the setup easily to a little project cruiser bike I’ve been slowly upgrading. would only take a few minutes… uh, yeah…..

I began at 5pm last evening; current state of affairs in my ‘workshop’
